You do not measure a 6" line out, as you are required to measure the distance between two units. Same as when you measure range for a gun, you measure to the unit you declare - you ont measure the range of the weapon, but the distance to the target. You measure a distance between two units by mesuring closest to closest models.

So what you said is cheating is actually the entirely, 100% correct way to do it.

Yah, I looked this up, you're correct. Looks like I've been a bit too sporting. Absolutely a valid strategy.

And how much of that is due to people just not using enough terrain on their tables...?

More than many people think, I think... especially when it comes to los blocking (as opposed to just obscuring) terrain. While more mobile shooting armies can cope quite well with los blocking terrain, more static gunlines can suffer. Yet I seldom see the recommended amount of los blocking terrain on the table, even where there's around 25% of board coverage.
